The 76ers' new owners have put Philadelphia on notice: They want a slice of the city's sports spotlight.
Long the deep reserve in the crowded sports market, the Sixers created splashy headlines without even playing a game - or acquiring a marquee player.
They did, however, buy some of Julius Erving's auctioned memorabilia.

The Philadelphia 76ers batted .500 last season going 41-41 snagging themselves a No. 7 seed in the East. Unfortunately, they ran into the evil Miami Heat in the first round and that was all she wrote for Iggy and the crew.
